Raffigura una bara avvolta nell'Union Jack, posizionata all'interno della Galleria degli Specchi della Reggia di Versailles. Due figure emaciate e spettrali con elmetti militari montano la guardia al feretro, mentre dei cherubini aleggiano sopra di loro nell'ombra. Il contrasto tra l'opulenta architettura dorata del palazzo e i soldati scheletrici e sofferenti crea un crudo commento sul costo del conflitto.\n\nInizialmente, Orpen intendeva ritrarre i leader alleati che celebravano il trattato di pace. Tuttavia, deluso dai procedimenti politici, oscurò le figure dei politici sostituendole con l'inquietante immagine dei caduti. La composizione si basa su un rigido ordine simmetrico che attira lo sguardo verso la porta centrale illuminata. L'interno buio e cavernoso della galleria serve ad amplificare l'isolamento dei soldati. Questo dipinto rimane un'opera significativa dell'arte del dopoguerra, che riflette la lotta personale dell'artista nel riconciliare la grandezza dei negoziati di pace con la realtà della perdita umana vissuta al fronte. L'opera è conservata nella collezione dell'Imperial War Museum di Londra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp
